Abstract: In this paper, 300 Peking ducks were used to analyze H-FABP gene polymorphism by polymerase chain reaction single-strand conformation polymorphism (PCR-SSCP). The results showed that the polymorphism of the 3rd intron was caused by C/G mutation at 156 bp. In three populations(males and females), only the Z4 population resulted in genotypes which showed a significant difference in carcass weight, abdominal fat weight and eviscerated weight (P<0.05),the Z4(male) population resulted in genotypes which showed a significant difference in breast weight, leg weight,and skeleton weight. It implied that H-FABP could have a major effect on carcass performance or could be linked to genes that significantly affect carcass performance in Z4 population of Peking duck.
